I don't know about you, but when I wake up, open the newspaper, and see a photo of a forlorn-looking Antoine Walker, it gets my hopes up. Like, maybe Antoine's retiring or David Stern has banned him from shooting three-pointers for life.

I am still thrilled that the Celtics won- it would be a crime against humanity for Antoine Walker to retire with a ring and Paul Pierce not to have one.

Has a larger pile of poop ever disgraced the NBA hardwood?

In my days in Chicago my fondest Bulls memory was watching Andres Nocioni abuse Antoine Walker in the '07 playoffs...I think he was about to cry every time his team called a timeout to sub him and stop the bleeding... ah the memories!
